The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Chen understood the old man's thoughts, because he himself was an elder and knew that if possible, the older generation really didn't want to live with their children.

This has nothing to do with whether the children have money or not, but the fact that the elderly do not want to trouble their children. Unless they are unable to move, they will not easily trouble their children.

The Zhou couple are obviously this kind of people. Even though they all know that Zhou Chen is a well-known figure in Shanghai and very rich, they still want to live separately, not trouble Zhou Chen, and give their children enough space.

Zhou Chen has already found out that the building where his parents live is the same building where the five beauties from Ode to Joy live, just downstairs from them.

Although 2201 and 2203 upstairs have been renovated, the owners have not yet moved in and they are still vacant.

However, three girls live in the middle room 2202.

Originally, the middle unit 2202 was the worst of the three units, with two bedrooms and two living rooms. However, the owner separated a part of the living room into another room, so it became a three-bedroom unit, which was rented out to three girls from other places.

In the past few months, the noisy noise from the renovation of two houses made the three girls very annoyed, but they had no money in their pockets and could not change houses. They could only go out early and come back late every day to avoid the noise.

Fortunately, the renovation was finally completed a month ago, so the three girls no longer had to suffer.

On this day, Guan Juer, who rarely had to work overtime, came home early. She happened to meet her roommate Qiu Yingying at the gate of the community, and the two of them walked into the community arm in arm.

"Guan Guan, why didn't you work overtime today? It's rare."

There are three girls in 2202. Qiu Yingying comes from an ordinary family. She is lively and heartless. To put it bluntly, she is confused, reckless and does things without any sense of propriety.

But because of his naive personality, he gets along very well with the two girls he roomed with.

Guan Juer is the opposite of Qiu Yingying. She is quiet and introverted, a good girl from a well-off family, well-mannered and sensible. But in fact, she has a little rebelliousness in her heart, but it is buried so deep that even she herself cannot realize it.

"I don't know either. My boss didn't ask me to work overtime today, so I came back early and planned to have a good rest."

"Guan Guan, have you eaten?"

"No, I'm exhausted from taking the subway all the way. I'm going to go back and take a rest and then see what to eat."

"Then shall we go eat spicy hot pot together later?"

"I don't eat Malatang. My mom said that Malatang is not edible."

"Okay, let's go eat noodles then."

"Yes, noodles are cheap and convenient."

As they were talking, the two came to the door of Building 19. Just as they were about to go in, they suddenly saw a black Mercedes-Benz driving over, and they quickly made way.

"Guan Guan, what's this luxury car? How did it get to the door?"

Ode to Joy community has an underground parking lot, and there are also parking spaces on both sides of the building, so few people drive their cars in front of the building.

The Mercedes-Benz stopped right at the door of their unit. After being surprised, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying walked towards the stairs.

But just as they were about to swipe their cards to go in, Xiao Zheng from the property management suddenly rushed over and quickly opened the door.

This shocked the two of them. When did Xiao Zheng become so perceptive? Didn't he usually not look at tenants like them? Why did he open the door for them today?

But they soon found out what was going on.

The property manager, Xiao Zheng, didn't even look at them, letting them in, and then called out in a flattering tone, "Mr. Zhou, you're here."

The flattering tone made the two of them turn their heads in surprise, and then they saw a man in his twenties walking in.

At just one glance, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying were attracted to this man.

The man had short hair, a light blue casual suit and a white shirt underneath. The collar of the shirt was slightly open, revealing his wheat-colored skin.

Looking up, you will find that the other person has deep and bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and angular face. The man in particular has an indescribable temperament and looks more handsome than most male stars.

As for Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying, they have seen many handsome guys, but they were still shocked when they saw the man in front of them.

Because this man is not only handsome, but his temperament also shocked them.

The two of them stood stupidly at the elevator entrance, forgetting even to press the elevator button, and just stared there stupidly.

When Zhou Chen saw Xiao Zheng, he didn't care about his attitude, but asked, "Nothing happened to my parents recently, right?"

Xiao Zheng quickly replied, "Mr. Zhou and Teacher Sun are very good here. Mr. Zhou's students visited twice this month. Also, the couple next door had a quarrel one night and disturbed them, but I solved the problem quickly."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Well, you did a good job. If anything special happens in the future, you must inform me as soon as possible, understand?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, if anything happens, I will inform your secretary immediately."

"I'll go up first."

As soon as Zhou Chen finished speaking, Xiao Zheng quickly said, "Mr. Zhou, I'll help you press the elevator."

Zhou Chen did not refuse and followed Xiao Zheng to the elevator.

The reason why Xiao Zheng was so respectful to him was because he had asked Xiao Zheng to pay more attention to her parents. In return, he also allowed Xiao Zheng's ex-boyfriend, now her husband, to work at Chenxing Group.

Chenxing Group is a giant group in Shanghai, and is ranked among the top 500 companies in the world. I don't know how many graduates from prestigious universities want to join it.

Xiao Zheng’s husband is just an ordinary undergraduate graduate. If Xiao Zheng had not happened to be the property manager of Building 19, how would her husband have had the opportunity to join Chenxing Group.

That's why Xiao Zheng tried to curry favor with Zhou Chen so much and stayed in Building 19 day after day for several years, refusing to leave this post no matter what.

Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying stared blankly at Xiao Zheng pressing the elevator button, then followed Zhou Chen into the elevator, forgetting even to press the floor button.

Zhou Chen walked into the elevator and pressed the 21st floor button. Seeing that the two girls who came in at the same time did not press the elevator button, he asked, "Which floor are you from? Aren't you going to press the elevator button?"

"oh oh."

Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying finally reacted. Qiu Yingying quickly pressed the button for the 22nd floor, but they were still thinking about what had just happened.

They knew that Zhou Chen got out of the Mercedes-Benz just now, but they didn't know the origin of this "Mr. Zhou" who made the somewhat snobbish Xiao Zheng open the door and press the elevator button like a lackey.

Guan Juer was more reserved and kept her head down, not daring to look at Zhou Chen, while Qiu Yingying would glance at Zhou Chen from time to time, full of curiosity.

When Zhou Chen saw that they pressed the button for the 22nd floor, he immediately guessed their identities.

At present, the other two households on the 22nd floor have not moved in yet, so these two girls must be two of the three people sharing the house. Judging from their ages, they must be Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying.

I have been to Ode to Joy several times before, but I have never met the three women upstairs. I didn’t expect to meet Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying this time.

One of them was wearing a blue V-neck T-shirt and light blue jeans; the other was wearing a white round-neck T-shirt and a knee-length white skirt.

"You live on the twenty-second floor?"

Qiu Yingying, who was secretly glancing at Zhou Chen, immediately responded when she heard Zhou Chen speak: "Yes, we are tenants of 2202. Handsome guy, do you live in this building too? Why haven't we seen you before?"

Guan Juer also raised her head curiously. If she had met Zhou Chen, such a handsome and elegant man, she would definitely not forget him.

Zhou Chen said: "I don't live here, but my parents live here, just downstairs from you."

"What a coincidence, handsome guy, hello, my name is Qiu Yingying, what's your name?"

Qiu Yingying is obsessed with appearance. When she saw the handsome Zhou Chen, she couldn't contain her excitement and directly asked the question that concerned her most.

Zhou Chen smiled and replied: "What a nice name, my name is Zhou Chen."

"Yeah, my name sounds nice and easy to remember. Although my parents are not well educated, they are good at giving names."

Qiu Yingying was immediately filled with joy when she received Zhou Chen's praise.

Guan Juer raised her head and whispered, "My name is Guan Juer."

"Hey, Guanjuer? Is this name taken from the two characters in 'Guanguanjujiu' in the first chapter of the Book of Songs? It's a very poetic name."

This is not Zhou Chen's deliberate flattery, but he really thinks Guan Juer is a good name.

It can be seen that her parents are well-educated. Most families probably wouldn't give their children such an unusual name.

Guan Ju blushed immediately and didn't know how to answer.

But she still looked at Zhou Chen secretly, and when she saw Zhou Chen looking at her with a smile, her face became even redder.

She is just a shy person, and her heart beats faster especially when facing a man like Zhou Chen who has such great temperament and appearance.

"Thank you."

It's just that her voice was too soft. If they weren't in the elevator and Zhou Chen had good hearing, he might not have been able to hear it.

Chapter 405: The Three Sisters on the 22nd Floor, Fan Shengmei's Little Thoughts

"Ding dong!"

The elevator reached the 21st floor and the door slowly opened.

"Ms. Qiu, Ms. Guan, I'm here. I'll get off first. We can talk next time when we're free."

Zhou Chen smiled at Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer, then walked out of the elevator.

"Goodbye, handsome Zhou."

Qiu Yingying kept waving at Zhou Chen with a look of reluctance on her face.

Guan Juer also whispered: "Bye."

After Zhou Chen left, the elevator door slowly closed. Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer both looked disappointed. It was the first time they felt that the elevator was so fast. How come they arrived at the 21st floor in the blink of an eye? They didn't even have time to say a few words.

After reaching the 21st floor, the 22nd floor will naturally be reached soon.

But after reaching the 22nd floor, the two did not go back immediately, but stood at the elevator entrance chatting.

Qiu Yingying said excitedly: "Guan Guan, the handsome Zhou just now was so handsome, wasn't he?"

Without other people around, Guan Juer was no longer so shy, and she agreed with what Qiu Yingying said.

"He's not only handsome, he also has a really good temperament. I've never seen a boy with such a good temperament. I don't know what he does. He looks very majestic, but he smiles very gently. It's really strange."

Qiu Yingying was stunned, and it took her a long time to react: "Oh, that's right, I didn't even think about it if you didn't mention it. I was just busy thinking about how handsome he was, and didn't think too much about it."

Guan Juer: "But judging from his appearance, he must be very rich, otherwise Sister Zheng wouldn't be so flattering to him."

"Yes, Sister Fan said that Xiao Zheng is a snob. Anyone who can be flattered by her is either rich or has a high status."

"Alas, there is too little time. If I could stay a little longer, maybe I could find out what he does, and maybe even get his phone number."

Guan Juer said: "Forget it, Yingying, we are just ordinary people, and they are so outstanding, they will definitely look down on us."

Qiu Yingying retorted: "That's hard to say, maybe he likes our style?"

Guan Juer rolled her eyes: "Yingying, stop daydreaming, let's go back."

The two were about to go over to open the door, but at this time the elevator door suddenly opened again, and a tall, plump, and seductive woman with long hair walked out.

The woman was wearing a bright red long dress and light makeup. She looked to be about 28 or 29 years old. She twisted her body and walked out of the elevator.

"Little Earthworm, Guan Guan, what are you two doing standing at the door? Why don't you go into the room?"

"Sister Fan, you're back."

When they saw this woman, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer both surrounded her. This woman was the other person who shared the apartment with them, Fan Shengmei.

Fan Shengmei, 30 years old, is a senior human resources officer in a foreign company. She is well versed in the ways of the world and is very righteous. However, because of her own experience, she is very materialistic and wants to marry a rich man.

Fan Shengmei was not opposed to the two girls getting close to each other. Being able to act like the elder sister in front of the two girls satisfied her vanity greatly.

"Guan Guan, aren't you working overtime today? Why are you standing at the door with the little earthworm?"

Guan Juer said: "We are not working overtime today. We just got upstairs."

Qiu Yingying couldn't hold back her words, she shouted anxiously: "Sister Fan, Sister Fan, do you know, when Guan Guan and I got on the elevator just now, we met a very, very handsome guy, he lives downstairs from us."

"A particularly handsome guy?"

Fan Shengmei was surprised. Looking at Qiu Yingying's happy expression, was he really that handsome?

"Little earthworms, I have a piece of advice for you. It's useless for a man to be handsome. Being handsome can't make a living or buy a house. A man must have money to be attractive."

Guan Juer didn't agree with Fan Shengmei's words. She felt that Sister Fan's words were too realistic and too utilitarian.

"Sister Fan, Zhou Chen is not only handsome, but also very charming. I have never seen a boy with such a charming temperament. Moreover, Sister Zheng downstairs was very attentive when she saw him. I think he must be extraordinary."

"Yes, yes, Sister Fan, you didn't see it. Xiao Zheng acted like a lackey today. She opened the door and helped press the elevator. Looking at her attitude, she seemed to be more respectful to him than to his own father." Qiu Yingying added.

"Is this true? Is Xiao Zheng downstairs really that attentive?"

Fan Shengmei was very surprised. She had lived here for a while and she had already figured out the personality of Xiao Zheng, the property manager of their building.

He is a complete snob, despising the poor and loving the rich. He is polite to the landlord, but acts like he is worth two and a half million when facing the tenants.

The person who can make Xiao Zheng fawn on him like a lackey is probably not just an ordinary owner.

"Really, Sister Fan, I've never seen Xiao Zheng behave so exaggeratedly."

"The Zhou Chen you are talking about, is he the owner of this place?"
